Thomas Rozwadowski, SCRJ Producer-Editor for Communications Strategy and Content Creation

The Stanford Center for Racial Justice (SCRJ or Center) is excited to announce the appointment of Thomas Rozwadowski as our Producer-Editor, effective March 1st, 2022. Thomas will provide communications strategy and dynamic content creation for a variety of the Center’s developing platforms and planning initiatives. Additionally, he will coordinate our efforts with university-wide and community partners and leverage the expertise of the Stanford Law School Communications group. Thomas will report to the Executive Director, George Brown.

For the first decade of his career, Thomas served as a news/features reporter and online editor in his hometown of Green Bay, Wisconsin. He later transitioned to nonprofit communications, with an emphasis on community building, youth outreach, and bridging cultural gaps, as a program manager at ThreeSixty Journalism at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, Minnesota. There, he oversaw the writing, editing, and publication of an award-winning quarterly print magazine, while also using his professional news experience to create and teach journalism workshops for high school students who fully embraced the power of their personal and community stories.

Thomas furthered his work in higher education communications at Carleton College in Northfield, Minnesota, where he served as the primary writer for the college’s web, print, and social media efforts. His feature stories helped Carleton’s alumni magazine earn a Gold Circle of Excellence Award and a Bronze Medal for Publications Work from CASE, the Council for Advancement and Support of Education. He most recently was director of publications and strategic initiatives at Claremont McKenna College in Claremont, California, where he oversaw production of the alumni magazine, served as lead writer on presidential communications, conceptualized special publications for the offices of admission and advancement, and developed strategic frameworks for student opportunity, integrated science, and diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives.

Thomas is especially proud of how he used his time in higher education to chronicle stories about race and personal identity with students and alumni—especially first-generation students like himself—all with the purpose of giving voice to those who often struggle to be heard. His goals are simple: Stay creative. Keep evolving. Promote dialogue.

SCRJ welcomes Thomas to our team with tremendous excitement!
